SUSTAINABLE DESTINATION RADLJE OB DRAVI
For many years, the municipality of Radlje ob Dravi has been working towards the sustainable development of the destination, with an emphasis on preserving natural resources, supporting the local economy and involving the local population in shaping the tourism offer. Key achievements include the successful implementation of sustainable projects that enable active leisure time in nature and offer visitors the opportunity to contribute to the conservation and development of the area by behaving responsibly when visiting the destination.
By joining The Green Scheme of Slovenian Tourism, the municipality of Radlje ob Dravi has committed itself to promoting sustainable action in the field of tourism and has renewed the Slovenia Green Destinations Silver Label in 2022, which is an indicator and confirmation of the efforts made so far in the field of sustainability, covering all major areas of the municipality's development.
In 2024, the Public Institute for Sport, Culture, Tourism and Youth Radlje ob Dravi, in close cooperation with the Municipality of Radlje ob Dravi, as a promoter of the development and management of the tourist destination, is implementing and following the strategic orientations derived from the Vision and Development Strategy of the Municipality of Radlje ob Dravi 2022-2040, Strategy of Sustainable tourism development in the Municipality of Radlje ob Dravi 2022 - 2027, the Regional Strategy of Carinthia and the National Strategy for Slovenian Tourism 2022-2028, with a particular focus on ensuring the implementation of sustainable practices and the implementation of sustainable models in development.
In the implementation of activities, we pursue the objectives as defined in the Action Plan 2022-2025 of The Green Scheme of Slovenian Tourism, which are focused on covering all 6 areas of the Standard V2 Green Destinations. The emphasis is on the conservation of natural resources, rational use of space and the involvement of the local community, thus contributing to the quality of life of the population and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the tourism offer. Our efforts are supported by implementation projects that actively involve the local population and reconcile the interests of the community and visitors to the destination. The municipality of Radlje ob Dravi is establishing itself as a model of responsible and sustainable tourism development based on the principles of quality, local involvement and environmental responsibility.
In the future, we will continue our efforts to promote sustainable tourism, to build on sustainable practices and to involve the community in the creation of sustainable stories. Our focus will be on developing innovative, sustainable products that support both the local economy and tourism visibility. The priority remains to work with local suppliers and organisations to create a quality tourism offer and to create an environment that, on the one hand, provides a pleasant stay for locals and, on the other hand, allows visitors to experience our efforts and take away with them unforgettable impressions and respect for our heritage and nature.
